SAMMY P. is a SMART PHOTOSYNTHETIC SYSTEM that addresses two main topics of sustainable design : food production and carbon fixation. Through an integrated application of different open technologies(like photobioreactors and hydroponics) the installation creates a controlled system to grow highly photosynthethic organisms such as microalgae and other plants in the built environment with the goal of fixing CO2 and produce healthy veggie proteins.
Sammy P was designed and built by the IED Torino Students in only 3 weeks and has been first presented in April 2016 at the Milano Design Week 2016 in Ventura Lambrate. Then it has taken part at the Human Factor in Drive Volkswagen
